Hi Everyone,

I have to build a project that detects fingernail on a video. How can I do this? I am new to this field and I have studied a little about haarcascade trainning, but I can't know how to train for fingernail detection. Anyone has haarcascade xml file already trainned for fingernail? Or would anyone please explain one by one how to do it?

Thanks,

How can I find fingernails in the image use OpenCV in Python?

Any reason why we revived this?

something really weird went wrong with the last edit. the original question was replaced by this older one (from a different person, even !). how did that happen ?

Start by reading the original paper described by Viola and Jones. It explains the basic concepts about face detection and cascade classifiers, which are used here for generic object detection.

Then the following pages can give you more information - http://docs.opencv.org/modules/objdet... - http://docs.opencv.org/doc/user_guide... - http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/...

Once you completely understand these topics, you will be able to train your own model. Also searching on this forum on cascade classifier and traincascade will yield tons of interesting discussions.
